My Points
There are lots of ways to 'earn money' when you are a stay-at-home mom. Couponing is one of the most effective ways. Especially if you can roll deals at CVS or Walgreens.
But, there are other ways too! Yesterday I told you about Swagbucks which is one of my favorites. I wanted to tell you about a way I LOVE dearly!
Let me put it this way, I just nearly paid for half of our new Wii bundle pack by this site. MyPoints is a really cool way to get points for doing little to nothing. If you use their toolbar to search, you can get points effortlessly each month. They also send emails each day. You earn points just for clicking on the link. If you purchase they give you more, but you don't have to (I usually don't).
I would recommend setting up a junk email account just for this purpose. That way you can dedicate time just to getting points when you want to.
The only way I can personally refer you is to send you an email from my account. To do that, just shoot me an email at Tausha Saves Money at Live dot com (put all the names together, no spaces or underscores) and title it MyPoints referral. I will shoot you over an invitation A.S.A.P. to get you started!
Happy Shopping :)

Mayfield Ice Cream Rebate = FREE!!
Ok, I will disclaimer this: I am TOTALLY a Blue Bell kind of girl...and have converted a many, might I say :)
However, I am always up for a try if it's free!!!
Right now, Mayfield has a rebate out for a FULL REFUND of purchase price just for trying!! Go here to print your form. You also have the option of getting $1.00 off coupons, but I'd rather have free ;)
You must submit by 9.30.10 though, so don't forget. That should give some time for a sale too!!
Gas Card Rebate
Right now, when you buy $35 in Energizer batteries, you can get a $10 gas card in the mail!
Go here to print the form. Think cheap batteries though. Sam's Club has them at a decent price. And, if you have kids, you know you go through them like water :)

I'm baaaaaaack......
So, it's been a long couple of months. Having kids, starting school (the kids not me :) and life in general put my blog on the back burner. Well, now I'm back! And, I've made some changes, as you can see!!
I would love your feedback: is it too busy? Also, now that I have learned how to schedule postings you should be able to see more stuff on a regular basis. (I told you I was new at this)
Hope you enjoy and happy couponing!
